Capriati’s Forehand Goes Wide, Waitress Files Battery Complaint
Five days after being bounced from the French Open, Jennifer Capriati has been accused of bouncing a right hand off the left eye of a nightclub waitress.
According to police, Capriati got into an argument with her boyfriend late Sunday night at Bubba’s Beach Club. A punch intended for her boyfriend instead hit waitress Angela Larson, who was standing nearby.
Tampa Police spokesman Steve Cole said Larson initially waived pressing charges but filed a battery complaint two days later.
Larson did not immediately return phone calls Wednesday, and a representative for Capriati’s agent said they were unaware of the incident and had no comment.
